I'm having a great time with this mission, still stumbling through a few places, but I think I'm close to the end now.

I've noticed a couple of places where the architecture "falls a little short":

# In the southeast section of the outdoors area, the outer north/south wall (the one with the barrels and crate on top that you can climb) doesn't quite reach the tower to the south.

# In the room south of the Mechanist chapel (the one with the staircase to the upper level, and the small courtyard to the west) the pole supporting the upper platform above the stairs doesn't quite reach all the way down.

Are these gaps intentional due to some technical problem, like scene complexity (loved that note, BTW) or just an oversight?

EDIT: OK, I've found the combination lock, but the clues provided are not giving me the right answer. I get the combination A13B4C2D, but it doesn't work. Can anyone point out to me what I'm doing wrong here?

I'm stuck here... I've read the rules and your advice, but am still stuck. I was able to get ether & the life crystal in the meantime. I'm down to get this solved. As for the glyphs in the first maze next to the serpent key, I only found one glyph to open the gate to go upstairs and place "an object" on the empty pedestal... Which I did... This undead monk thing rules..... This is top 5 for sure....

I think you're misunderstanding. You find 2 notes that are actually written in code. One is labeled "A coded note" and one is labeled "A note in code" when they are in your inventory. The first one is the one you need to get the information on how to find the bronze serpent key. If you missed finding them they are in one of the rooms behind the electrified gate, on a table.

well.. I've riddled out enough to get the tomb puzzle done.. but now I got thru the trapdoor that was locked with the glyphs, and I cant get any further..
seems the pool I found is so hot that jumping in kills you.... I managed to pick up a candle down there.. but I dont see any way to get across...
spare a clue for a fellow taffer, friends?

well.. to find the glyphs for the door combination... go to the cloister.
facing the outside entrance, bear to the left, and enter the tower with a wood stairway.. you'll see a trapdoor in the floor.. and the glyphs on an upright.

as to get the combination itself... you will have to have broken the seals first.. go to the monestary courtyard, and go to the chamber with coffins and the frobbable lamp.. when you activate the magick circle in there.. 4 beams will light up certian runes on the floor... the order I'll leave up to you to find..

I have a problem regarding the dead monk... I got the key from him, but later on when I got to the locked chest in another room the key had disappeared from inventory. How do I now open the chest? All my saved games are past this point. Thanks

This doesn't make sense. The key disappears only after you have opened the chest and picked up the life crystal. Please double check and let me know.

I know this doesn't make sense. I was also surprised, but not happy! I have double and triple checked. I have revisited the dead monk and also the locked chest. I originally got the key from the body, but by the time I made it to the chest the key was gone. Maybe due to saving/reloading, I don't know. I really don't want to replay the whole game again at this time, especially as I've already dispatched all the spawned monks. Do you have a saved game with that key I could use? Thanks
